Cannot seem to get across the point that I wouldn't be suggesting if I didn't think it would work. Oct 29 06 07:44 pm Link pw-gii photographics wrote: I agree also.. Julie is one of my favorites.. Oct 29 06 08:19 pm Link The oldest model I have ever shot with was 32 - she was amazing. I would love to - and have been trying - to work with older models (late 30's, 40's) but surprisingly, I have never had any luck arranging it. 2 of them were no shows - and I drove 50 miles to shoot with one of them - and all the others either respond then evaporate, or never respond at all. Honestly, this has been surprising. I guess I assume more maturity and responsibility as people get older, but I guess that isn't necessarily true! Being almost 50 myself, I certainly appreciate talent and beauty at any age, and really feel women get more beautiful as they age. Oct 29 06 08:25 pm Link You didn't say what you classified an older model as, age wise. In response to your question though....Yes, I love to shoot older women...Take a look at my port...one model is almost 80...another is 60...a couple more are 40. They are all beautiful pictures in their own way. The models are easy to work with and all have a story and beauty all their own. As a side note, a friend of mine won Miss Nude North America a few years back, competing against a bevy of 20 - 30 year olds. She was 43. My advise for photographers, "Our job is to look for, discover, find, and shoot, the inherent beauty in all the models we meet and to reproduce that beauty so others can share our vision." Just my opinion...and you know what they say about opinions. But this is mine for the record. Oct 29 06 08:30 pm Link Age makes no difference to me as long as the model fits the need of the project. I had a shoot with a 52 year old woman today, and she was fantastic. Oct 29 06 11:41 pm Link Oct 29 06 11:48 pm Link Interesting thread. I haven't shot an older model, but all of this has got me thinking that it might be a great way to go. Hope I spelled all my words right...seems like the Alphabet Police are out in force these days.
